About this app

DuckDuckGo is a free browser that provides the most comprehensive online privacy protection in one app. Unlike most popular browsers, it has powerful privacy protections by default, including our search engine that doesn’t track your history and over a dozen other built-in protections. Millions of people use DuckDuckGo as their go-to browser to protect their everyday online activities, from searching to browsing, emailing, and more.
 
FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS

Search Privately by Default: DuckDuckGo Private Search comes built-in, so you can easily search online without being tracked. 

Block Most Trackers Before They Load: Our 3rd-Party Tracker Loading Protection exceeds what most popular browsers offer by default. 

Enable Built-in Email Protection: Block most email trackers and hide your existing email address with @duck.com addresses.  

Automatically Enforce Encryption: Shield your data from network and Wi-Fi snoopers by forcing many sites to use an HTTPS connection. 

Protect Your Privacy in Other Apps: Block most hidden app trackers in other apps day or night, and prevent 3rd-party companies from invading your privacy with App Tracking Protection. This feature uses a VPN connection, but is not a VPN. It works locally on your device and does not collect personal data. 

Escape Fingerprinting: Make it harder for companies to create a unique identifier for you by blocking attempts to combine info about your browser and device. 

We feature many protections not available on most browsers, even in private browsing mode, including protection from link tracking, AMP tracking, and more.

We need the search and tab task bar on the bottom as an option. An absolutely nightmare to have to constantly reach up to the top of my phones screen every single time to enter a search request. And thank you for the app tracking protection. I've been saying this for years but no one listens to me that the app counterparts of websites have been doing this. This is why I only use the desktop sites. UPDATE: PIP DOESNT WORK ANYMORE. WHAT GIVES

Good app, very fast on Android. Downrated with latest update. Tab preview used to be a micro screen shot now it's a link box not really usable now as it lists just the start of the url if you have multiple tabs open on a site they all look the same! WTH? How is this useful? I have to count the boxes, change to tab to check go back count and close tab hopefully not the wrong one. Don't fix what isn't broken!!! U had it right the first time!!! Spend time fixing things that need fixing instead!

I use this almost exclusively for the App Tracker Protection but recently I've noticed a bug where all my internet connectivity will be disabled at random. The phone says it's connected but there's no wifi or mobile data. The only two workarounds are restarting the phone or turning off app tracking momentarily. I really don't want to disable this for certain apps since that's the whole point of the protection. It does indeed block a ton of trackers. I would rate it higher not for the glitch.
